WIN Welcomes Clio Music to Its Global Supporters Program 

WIN is pleased to welcome Clio Music as the newest addition to its Supporters program, a scheme available to those who want to support WIN’s work, champion the global independent music sector, and engage with its entrepreneurs in a sustainable and mutually beneficial way. 

Clio Music honors outstanding creativity in music marketing, advertising, and communications across every medium and from across the world. With 13 Grand winners from 8 countries last year and a globally representative jury, the program celebrates the campaigns and collaborators shaping music culture today. We’re excited to support WIN and connect with the global independent music community it represents, so we can expand on our mission to celebrate the work of independent labels, marketers, and creatives everywhere. We hope to be a source of inspiration and information on how to submit work for the chance to have it recognized on an international stage.
Michael Kauffman, Executive Director of Clio Music

Clio Music is one of five verticals developed by the Clios, the awards that celebrate creative excellence in advertising around the world. Launched in 2014, Clio Music honors innovation and creativity in music marketing, advertising, and communications. The program shines a spotlight on the record labels, venues, artists, brands, agencies, and creators shaping music culture. Each year, leaders from across the global music industry gather to evaluate entries and award the prestigious Grand, Gold, Silver, and Bronze Clio Music Awards. Entries to the 2026 Clio Music Awards are open until October 3 and the ceremony will be held on January 29, 2026. 

Clio Music plays an important role in celebrating the innovation and creative spirit that drives our sector forward. We’re excited to welcome them as a WIN Supporter and look forward to building opportunities for collaboration and recognition of the independent music community’s work in marketing and communications.
